Weak
Children
How sad it is to see weak
children boys and girls who
are pale and thin. They can
not enjoy the sports of child
hood, neither are they able
to profit by school life. They
are indeed to be pitied. But
there is hope for them.
Scott's Emulsion
has helped such children for
over a quarter cf a century.
Your doctor will tell you it is both
food and medicine to them. They
begin to pick up at once under its
use. Their color improves, the fleh
becomes more Tim, the weight
increases ar.d a!! the full life and
vigor of childhood returns again.

TJIEBUAIX IX SLEEP.
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CAUSES
" THAT PRODUCE DREAMS.
The iBlnriirc nn the frv ly tlie
SliiMHrh and the I'duiI Ihnl It Con
tiiiis Ktrnt That Occur In a Frac
tion of a Scruiid.
Dreams are pcnt rally a repetition of
thoughts un-iuiileil hv reason. Those
caued ly internal action or brought
! about by action vvitliin the body are
I due curln ly to the action and state of
j the stomach, which in turn is affected
j by the ipjautity and quality of food
consumed.
The first ends or feelers of the nerves
' are located in the walls of the stom
ach, and as the f.Mul is digested they
: draw up the nourishment and distril
' ute it throughout the nervous system
i to replace the wa-te that has taken
j place durinp the day. If the stomach
be surchai U'ed with an abundance cf
j heating food, too much nourishment is
! forced uioii the brain, causing an al
! normal lillins of the channels, thereby
! t-xpandiiitf them. Irhipiii4 theiu in
touch with others ami causing the mat
ter from one to overl'ow into or to mix
with the fluid of !iciphhoriii channels.
Whenever the Uuid traverses a chan
nel more or less forcibly the thought
which originated that passage is re
produced more or less vividly; hence
insures tin- general mixing up of
thoughts which oripinally had uo con
nection with each other.
An overloaded stomach also causes
a flow of blood to the brain, sent there
by nature to assit in assimilating the
extra nourishment, and the overcharp
cd blood vessels, pressing upon the
nerve channels near the brain, cause
even more turbulent disturbances. This
accounts for the advice of so many
medical men that no considerable
quantity, especially of animal food,
should be taken immediately lefore
bedtime. The crossing, rocrossinp ami
touching of these thought channels
brought about in this way produce the
absurd mixtures of fancies that often
conn? to us when we sleep.
The stomach, too. is a mill which
keeps on forever prindinp. the walls
actiut; as the prindstones. When,
therefore, there Is Iiothiup between
lliem, or, in other words, when the
stomach is empty, one wall prinds up
on the oilier, causinp an irritation of
the nerves which produces that pecul
iar sensation of faliinp from home
preat heipht.
To understand how external action
will affect the dream ttf a sleeper it
must be borne in mind that those
dreams w hich seem to take hours, and
even days, in passinp really occupy but
a minute fraction of a second. If,
therefore, we are awakened by some
loud, strident noise, say by the crack
inp of a whip, then between the time
that the miiii1 strikes the ear while
we are yet asleep ami the time that
we are fully awake to realize what lias
caused the sound a few moments only
have elapsed, but those few moments
were siitiieieiit to allow of a dream of
apparently several hours duration.
As an example: A milkman, drivinp
up beneath an open lodroom window,
racks his whip smartly. Immediate
ly the thought produced by tiie sound
causes a dream. The sleeper imapines
himself a soldier who has fallen into
the hands of the enemy. He is led out
to lie shot, lie stands blindfolded. With
hands tied. 1m tore the platoon of sol
diers, lie hears the click, click, click
as the rilles are cooked. He hears the
w ord pi k en, and the noise of the volley
rinps out on his cars. Then lie awakes
with a start, to hear the rumble of the
milkman's wapou as lie cracked his
whip and drove off over some rough
cobblestones.
A blow, a cut or n sensation of pain
will operate in the same way and
vakcii certain channels of thought
connected with pain just as the noise
awoke those connected with sound.
For instance, a sh-oper dreams that
l.e is closed up in some close travelinp
carriage and is Im-Iiip driven rapidly off
In an uiikiiow n direction by a man who
has dcsiirns upon his purse and life.
He tries to shout, in vain he strupples
to pet free and in the tussle drives an
arm throuph the plass wimlow of the
oarriape. The hand is cut and bk-ed-Inp.
It smarts fearfully, and he
awakes to tiud that in Ids sleep he had
carelessly thrown out an arm, and Ids
hand has smashed some tine medicine
plass on a stand by the bedside. The
whole dream passed lietwceu the time
that the hand first struck the plass,
crcatinp the sensation of pain, and the
moment that the sleeper awoke to real
ize the fact. t'hicapo Itecord.

the pK'ts to be told that a "wide,

I'nnppreclnted.
The teacher of a district school in
Maine tells a story that reminds me of
Mary nnd her little Iamb, only it is of
Joe and his little dog.
Joe was a boy about S years old and
was devoted to a small, lank puppy.
Out of school hours lKiy and dog were
inseparable, and Joe apparently could
not reconcile himself to the necessity
tit leaving the dog at home. For sev
eral mornings the teacher allowed the
puppy to remain at Joe's feet under
the desk.
Then there came a day when the
small dop could not be kept quiet, but
frisked about, to the delight of the
t-chool and the dismay of the teacher.
"Joe." she said lirmly, "you must
take t,hat dog out."
Joe looked at her mournful!, but
picked up the pup and. with its head
against his cheek, started for the door.
The boy's feelinps were evidently hurt,
but he said nothing until he reached
the door; then, giving his teacher a re
proachful look, with a pitying glance
toward his dog, he said slowly, "And
he's named fc.r you:" Youth's Com

Just wheu the day became divided

A Japanese Starr of It Influence OB a
Motherless CUrl.
At Y. M. C. A. hall Veataso Ofc.mo,
a Japanese, told tho following story to
a largo audience:
"Unco upon a time there lived in a
little hamlet in Japan a young couple.
Tiny had one child a beautiful littlo
girl whom Doth loved very dearly. It
same to pass whilo the child was still a
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take a long jourta'y to the far distant
city. It was too far for him to take his
wife and child, so he left them at homo
and traveled alone.
"In that great city ho saw many now
things which, having lived iu the peace
ful little hamlet up among tho moun
tains all his life, he had never seen be
fore. He desired to tako home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed to him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift ho could take, it
seemed to him, was a mirror. He wish
ed to tako home to his wife tho pleasure
and Bivrpriso ho had experieuced when
he first looked into a mirror. So ho took
ouo homo to his wife.
"When ho arrived home' ho gave tho
present to his wife, and for tho first
time sho looked into a mirror. 'What
do yon see?" her husband asked. Sho
replied: 'I declare! I see a very pretty
woman. Sho wears her hair just as I do
mine, and she smiles and moves her
lips as if sho were talking to me. ' Her
husband told her that the mirror was a
present for her, and he hoped sho would
use it every day. But tho wifo thought
it far too l-eautifnl and rare and costly
a gift to use every day, so sho put it
carefully away and never spoko about it
to tho littlo daughter, who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother ev
ery day.
"Ity and by a great misfortune fell
upon that little household. Tho wifo
and mother fell sick, and it was soon
evident that she must die. As sho lay
upon her deathbed she called her littlo
daughter to her and told her that sho
was going to lose her mother forever.
She could point to no future life after
death in which they should bo reunited,
but in the love aud simplicity of her
heart she did tho best she could. Slio
told her littlo daughter about fhe won
derful mirror. 'After I am dead, 'she
said, 'take down that box and look iuto
the mirror that it contains. There you
will see my face. And I want you to
look iuto the mirror every day, that you
may never forget your mother, and that
you may grow liko mo more and more
every day.
"So the mother died. Tho littlo girl
did as she had been told, aud in tho
wonderful mirror sho thought sho saw
her mother's face, young aud beautiful
not as sho had seen her, palo and ill
as she lay dying, but fair and fresh as
she had looked before the fatal illness.
And the little girl looked into tho mir
ror every day and thought of her moth
er and her many lovely ways, and so it
came about that sho grew to bo more
and more like her mother as tho years
went by." Rochester Post-Express.

A Style of Laundry Work S.-tiil to Prevail
In ISuurdinff IIouscm,
A peculiar appcaranco in tho front
windows of an aristocratic boarding;
house on one of the leading avenues
caused a discussion among passersby.
In each pane was a square of whito mus
lin, with embroidered edges, which was
apparently glued to tho pane.
"That's a queer way of keeping out
tho light, " observed one citizen to an
other.
"Must be some new method of deco
ration," remarked another.
"Don't yon know what that is?" said
a young woman to her husband. "That's
a window laundry. "
"And what may that ho?"
"It's tho way ladies who board wash
their lino handkerchiefs. You see, it
dries and irons them at the same timo."
"I see, " answered tho young man,
that they adhere like postage stamps,
How do they do it?"
"Oli, you first catch your window;
then yon wash tho panes and place tho
handkerchief against them, wringing
wet. They stick like a plaster, and when
they come off are as smooth as satin. In
that way every woman can be her own
laundress. "

Here is a fetching description of a
military review which we cull from
Mr. Harold Gorsts' liook on China:
"At one extremity of the field there
was raised on a slight elevation of the
ground a platform shaded by an im
mense red -parasol and ornamented
with lanterns, -streamers aud some
larpe lanterns that did not seem par
ticularly necessary, as the sun was
shining in full splendor. The inspector
extraordinary of the imperial army
and the principal civic and military
mandarins of the town were on the
platform, seated In armchairs before
bait tables covered with tea things
and boxes filled with excellent tobacco.
The moment arrived to liegin. A little
culverln that stod near the platform
was tired off. the military Judges cov
ering their ears with their hands to
protect them from the frightful detona
tion, then a yellow flag was hoisted to
the top of one of the forts, the tom
toms sounded a furious charge, and
the soldiers rushed together pellmell,
uttering terrible cries aud grouping
themselves around the flag of their
company.
"It is impossible to imagine, any
thing more whimsical and comic than
the evolutions of the Chinese soldiers.
They advance, draw back, leap, pirou
ette, cut capers, crouch behind their
shields, as if to watch the enemy, then
jump up again, distribute blows right
and left aud then run away with all
their might, crying, "Victory, victory!" "

(ue of the applicants for a consulate

"I should like to appoint you, Mr.

man. all the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.

The Pronunciation Ksplnined.
"There is a family in Virginia," says
Collier's Weekly, "the name of which
Is spelled 'I'nroughty,' but It Is pro
nounced 'Darby.' This fact, familiar
to many Americans, happened to be
told by Miss Hay ward at a dinner in
London at which Mr. Kipling was
present, when he broke In: "You have
saved my reputation by telling that.
You are the first man. woman or child
who could back me up In it.'
"The explanation of the peculiarity is
that the Derbys were an English fami
ly who settled in Virginia iu the colo
nial days. One of the sons, the tradi
tional black sheep of the family, was
left a share in his father's will on con
dition that he changed his name. Ho
changed his written name to En
roughty, but continued to call himself
Derby.
"On bearing this explanation Mr.
Kipling said. "I think I will change my
name to Smith. 'Yon can spell it
Smith if you like," was the reply, 'but
it will always be pronounced Kipling,
a remark which caused him to look 'as
uufoignedly pleased as a boy.' "

pleasing anecdotes are told of those
long and weary, though oftinies hila
